dumpling disaster (6 Minute Version)

(Intro) The classroom’s set for celebration, A new year's start, a fresh sensation, She walks in with a proud display, Hoping to ring in the new year her way. (Verse 1) In the classroom bright and new, The Year of the Dragon’s come through, She walked in with a big ol' smile, Carrying dumplings that she'd made in style. (Pre-Chorus) With a sparkle in her eye, she served them out, A feast for the new year, without a doubt, But as the flavors hit our tongues, oh no, We didn’t know the trouble that would grow. (Chorus) Oh, the Year of the Dragon turned to a storm, The dumplings were a mess, so far from the norm, We all took a bite, then the troubles began, Food poisoning in the Year of the Dragon’s grand plan. (Verse 2) She’d been so proud, so full of cheer, But the taste was wrong, it was crystal clear, In the hallways we stumbled, feeling so weak, A New Year’s party turned into a bad streak. (Pre-Chorus) As the night dragged on and we all felt the pain, We looked at each other, through the suffering and strain, The dragon’s roar seemed a cruel irony, In a classroom of chaos and culinary tragedy. (Chorus) Oh, the Year of the Dragon turned to a storm, The dumplings were a mess, so far from the norm, We all took a bite, then the troubles began, Food poisoning in the Year of the Dragon’s grand plan. (Bridge) But through the aches and through the tears, We’ll remember this story through the years, She meant well, her heart was true, Just wish those dumplings hadn’t made us blue. (Chorus) Oh, the Year of the Dragon turned to a storm, The dumplings were a mess, so far from the norm, We all took a bite, then the troubles began, Food poisoning in the Year of the Dragon’s grand plan. (Verse 3) The doctor said, “Rest and hydrate, While we deal with this food disaster fate,” She called us up with tears in her eyes, Apologizing for the culinary surprise. (Chorus) Oh, the Year of the Dragon turned to a storm, The dumplings were a mess, so far from the norm, We all took a bite, then the troubles began, Food poisoning in the Year of the Dragon’s grand plan. (Outro) So here’s to the dragon, and lessons learned, And to the teacher, whose heart still burned, In the end, it’s the thought that counts, Even if the dumplings made us mount. (Final Chorus) Oh, the Year of the Dragon turned to a storm, But we’ll laugh it off, as the new year’s form, We’ll cherish the memory, through the pain and the fun, In the classroom, the dragon's dance has just begun.
